lyrics

Wishing sideways you were born
But you’re right side up
And man, that’s tough
When you’ve spent every penny wishing
That there’d be nothing left but living to do

Watching freight cars in the haze
Cause you can’t go home
Left town long ago
And now you live up by the city
Man, it must be a pity to be you

Smoking Camels in the cold
Itching for a Marlboro
And maybe you’ll be fine, you know?
But it’s no wonder she was taken
Don’t be mistaken, you had waited too long

To tell her why she should stay
And fix the live you’d made
Yeah, fix the life she gave
To you

Punching windows ‘til you bleed
And they don’t talk back
Yeah, they just spit out facts
About Chevy Monte Carlos
And where the sunken river still flows

Reading books from right to left
Dylan Thomas is dead
And yet it still makes sense
That every time you turn a page
That rage you feel inside you is engaged

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Why can’t I have it all
Why must I be so small
When every single lucid vision I have
Just turns into another reason to call
